Music Alert : Lil Boat 3 - Lil Yachty Album Release On 29 May Deet Inside
Lil Boat 3 is the upcoming fourth studio album by American rapper Lil Yachty, set to be released on May 29, 2020.[2] The album will serve as the third and final installment of the Lil Boat series and the sequel to Lil Boat 2.[3]
On August 10, 2019, Lil Yachty made his first official announcement of the project while on an Instagram live stream with frequent collaborator Trippie Redd. When questioned about the status of the album, he said that it would be released in October 2019.[4] Lil Yachty later said that in terms of production, he was working with producers The Alchemist, Ronny J, Pi'erre Bourne, Earl on the Beat, and his brother. Lil Yachty said rappers Playboi Carti and Oliver Tree would be on the album.[5] Following the release of the lead single, "Oprah's Bank Account", Lil Yachty tweeted "Lil Boat 3, coming soon."[6]
Singles
The lead single for Lil Boat 3 was released on March 9, 2020, titled "Oprah's Bank Account". Featuring melodic, autotuned vocals similar to those of his first project, the track also features fellow rappers Drake and DaBaby. To accompany the track, Lil Yachty released a 9-minute mini movie in which he acts as famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey. The track was produced by frequent collaborator Earl on the Beat.[7]
Controversy
Following Lil Yachty's decision to wear a dress in the 9-minute mini-movie for "Oprah's Bank Account", which was meant to make him look like Oprah, controversy arose. Some people accused Lil Yachty of being sexist for wearing a dress, while others resulted with homophobic remarks to suggest Lil Yachty was homosexual. Others said that Lil Yachty only dressed as a woman to "gain recognition" because he "fell off". In response, Lil Yachty said "It's just supposed to be entertaining... it ain't even that deep."[8]
Lil Yachty just made a big announcement.
Late Tuesday night (May 19), Yachty confirmed his forthcoming album, Lil Boat 3, would be making its triumphant arrival next Friday (May 29). In a message shared on the rapper's official Twitter account, the 22-year-old rhymer announced the release date along with the LP's cover artwork and the number of tracks expected to appear on the album.
As previously reported by XXL in our spring 2020 issue of the magazine, the Georgia native's album cover features a black-and-white photo of a pint-sized baby Yachty that his father captured when the rapper was a child.
While Yachty's tracklist has not been revealed yet, fans can expect his most recent Earl on the Beat-produced single, "Oprah's Bank Account," with DaBaby and Drake to make an appearance on the LP. Lil Boat 3, which Yachty described to XXL as "an uptempo experience," will feature production from Pi’erre Bourne, 30 Roc and MitchGoneMad as well.
During the same interview with the QC signee, Yachty also explained how he's felt slept-on throughout his career, despite his accomplishments in music and fashion. Lil Boat hopes his fourth studio album will allow listeners and rappers who came before him to finally put respect on his name.
"I feel like I'm slept-on in general, just period," Lil Yachty started. 'I'm not saying I'm the best, you know, I never can say I'm the best rapper, or even if I was best-dressed. But I do this shit. For real. It don't break me. I'm still here… That's ’cause I'm really a fly nigga. I don't get enough credit for it. I feel like I'm one of the best-dressed rappers in the rap game. And no one gives me any credit. And it upsets me. Not even upsetting, but it upsets me. It's like, yeah, y'all just playing with me right now. I don't have no stylist for real."
Lil Boat 3 is slated to usher in the return of old Yachty. However, this time around, he's added new heat to his arsenal.
